About Shale
Experience: 8 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
With 10 years of experience in childcare, including eight years of paid work, I am dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children of all ages. At 26, I have had the privilege of working with infants, toddlers, school-aged kids, and teenagers, tailoring my approach to meet their unique needs. Additionally, I have experience with children with special needs, ensuring individualized care and support. As a student from South Africa, my work with children, particularly babies, has inspired me to pursue a career as a neonatal nurse. My passion for nurturing young minds and fostering their development is at the core of my caregiving philosophy. I am committed to promoting a positive and stimulating atmosphere where children can thrive. I strive to be a reliable and supportive presence in every child's life. I also prioritize safety by constantly refreshing my CPR and first aid skills.

Shale was an absolute blessing for our family! She cared for my 3-year-old son during the week, often working overnight hours, and she was simply amazing. From the moment we met her, she was lovely, respectful, and incredibly easy to communicate with. Her strong communication skills and warm personality made everything so smooth and reassuring. What really stood out was how beautifully she connected with my son. She engaged with him in such a genuine, loving way—it was clear she truly cared about his well-being and happiness. He absolutely loved being around her, and we did too! We felt completely at peace knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Shale to any family looking for a trustworthy, kind, and skilled babysitter. We love her and are so grateful for her time with us!
